iMicroIM320 USB Headset with Microphone, 5-Pack

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HEADSET!! I lost precious time, money and fell behind in training because this headset worked for five (5) days and then began sending a loud humming noise that prevented me from live interaction with my trainer and class members. I had to mute my microphone on the headset, as well as in the Adobe Classroom screen, because the interference was so loud and excruciating in the ears of my classmates. It was down right offensive. There were also periods when there was no humming, but people could barely hear me, even though my mic was turned all the way up.I made the purchase based on the reviews. That was an epic fail. Folks, this is training for work. I had to purchase a new headset (totally different brand). It arrived yesterday. I also have to wait for this one to be returned to Amazon, before I get my refund credit. If you want to avoid the frustration and embarrassment, chose a different product. This one may disappoint you terribly. iMicro IM320 USB Headset

I've used these a couple times a week for about a year. The sound quality is fine for me...I'm not an audiophile, so maybe not the most discriminating critic, but for talking to people or watching stupid YouTube vids, it's perfectly good. Durability seems much better than most cheap headphones. They're very comfortable...one reason I buy cheap headphones is that they tend to be very lightweight, and not put pressure on your head or ears that can hurt after hours of use, and these are great in that regard.LED is only complaint: There's a 1cm x 3cm control pad built into the USB cord, that has volume up & down, mute mic, and mute headphone buttons. It has a tiny but staggeringly bright LED on it, which is either on or blinking on and off pretty much any time they're plugged into a computer. In a dark room, it's distracting, and painfully bright. It indicates if you pressed the mute buttons and what not, but they're things I'd personally consider unnecessary...I'd rather they did away with the control pad entirely, as it just duplicates controls on my computer. You can paint or tape over the LED, but it's still annoying.

I like this so much that I ordered another one in case the price goes up or they're discontinued.Audio: I mostly listen to streaming content on my laptop and the audio is quite good/clear for that purpose. I was able to turn down the audio setting on my laptop from 100% to 60% when using these.Construction: The headset is quite sturdy. I used another lightweight model for many years, reordering again and again because I liked the fit, even though the internal wires would eventually break and sound would go out on that side. The cords on these are much larger in diameter and seem like they'll stand up better under daily use. I almost never use the microphone and it stays neatly tucked up and out of the way.Fit: Very comfortable, even after hours of use. My ears or head don't ache at all. I'm a 7.5 (large) hat size and still use the headband telescoped all the way closed, but it can expand another 2-3" if needed. The expansion stays set even while picking up and putting down the headset and you don't have to keep adjusting it.Price: Excellent for the quality.Controls: Having the controls on the cord is helpful. I only use the mute button and in fact have taped over the middle and top set of buttons because the flashing blue and red lights are so piercingly bright that they actually bothered me at night. I would have deducted half a star for that if possible but didn't want to downgrade too far since it likely won't bother most other users.

This is the second one of these I'd bought. These give you great audio and generally pick up audio very well. I use it to record podcasts over Skype. My only downside to that is that I have to use separate headphones while recording instead of the earpieces on the unit as an echo of my voice turns up on the recording if I don't. The microphone is great, and when my first one broke due to an accident, I was able to use it as just a microphone for a good long time. Only thing is that there isn't a guard to block out any air that comes out of your mouth instead of sound.But anyway, those are the only problems with this great, low-priced headset.

It works perfect. Just plug it into the USB port - no drivers to install or anything. At least with Windows 10.The sound on the mic and earphones are good - talking sounds natural and music is pleasing, but don't expect it to match high end music headphones.The only negative is the comfort. I can wear it for an hour no problem. If I needed to regularly wear it 8 hours straight, I would want something else. It's not too bothersome and I've had way worse, but there is a little pressure on my ears and I am aware that they are on my head.Overall, I like them and I would buy them again at this price.

This is a good enough headset. I bought it to work from home due to Covid, and it's last me a year. Now, all my clients are complaining of a loud hum, which is certainly from the headset. (I used another headset I have to rule out other connection issues). Also, since my work-from-home setup is in my bedroom, the blinking led on the control pad is annoying at night. I may buy this headset again, now that I need a new one. It is not a 4 or 5 star headset, but I give it 4 stars since it is a good value @ ~$15, and I'd consider lasting a year of daily use pretty good.

Over the years I have literally bought a couple dozen headsets for chatting on the Net for prices ranging from twenty bucks plus up to a hundred. This relatively low priced headset has equaled or out performed the lot of them. For the price they simply cannot be beat.It seems that almost all headsets are susceptible to fine wire breakage after a few months of regular use. Hence the 'couple dozen' purchases mentioned above. I expect something similar may happen to this one in due time but thus far I have been using it daily for a few hours for several months without any failure. Even if it does fail the low cost of replacement means that I will not be out that much.It's a great headset for online chatting and super affordable.
